Platform & web development
Digital platforms are not born on a drawing board. I accompany them from strategy through the design of the actors involved to technical implementation, in stages that are usable on their own.
Platform strategy
A platform strategy helps mobilize an ecosystem with the goal of participating in value creation. A platform strategy consists of the combination of various elements: narrative, technologies, rules, channels, contexts, services, protocols and much more. I help you identify, visualize and implement these into a strategy.
Platform design
Platform design deals with the optimal design of the processes and actors to be involved in the platform. Incentive systems, co-benefits and stakeholder architecture play a dominant role here, as does the technical translation to the platform concept.
Implementation
Conception Development Process design
What you get
From one source
Strategy, design and build without losses in handover between providers.
Open standards
Proven open source components instead of dependencies that get expensive later.
Built to maintain
An architecture someone else can still develop further in five years.
Usable in stages
Every stage stands on its own, no all-or-nothing at the end of the project.
Process
- 1
Strategy
Clarify the ecosystem, the actors and the value proposition.
- 2
Design
Shape processes, incentives and stakeholder architecture.
- 3
Concept
Translate the platform concept technically.
- 4
Build
Development, process design, going live.
What this costs
Billed by person-day, as a senior consultant. I will tell you the day rate in our first conversation, together with an estimate of how many days your project needs. Both binding, before you decide.
Small pieces of work I bill at a fixed price where the scope can be drawn clearly. I will tell you which of the two comes out cheaper.

First the prototype, then the platform
While requirements are still moving, a prototype is the cheaper route to clarity, and it arrives in days, not months.
